Edith Manual           Macros             19th May 1994


A KEYBOARD MACRO is a sequence of key strokes  recorded
like you record music on a cassette tape.

EDITH  allows   you   to   record   up   to   10   such
sequences, which are activated by pressing CONTROL  and
a function key.

To start recording a macro, open the MACROS dialog from
the CONFIG menu  or by  pressing CONTROL  and 6.   Then
select one  of  the  function keys,   type  a  name  to
identify the  sequence  (this  is  not  necessary), and
press RECORD.

Top a  text window  and enter  the sequence.   To  stop
recording,  select  END  MACRO from  the  CONFIG  menu,
click STOP  in  the KEYBOARD  MACROS  dialog, or  press
CONTROL and 6.   While recording, the  mouse will  take
the shape of an audio cassette.

From then on,   the sequence is  activated by  pressing
the control and the selected function key.



** A macro consists  of up to  16 keystrokes.  A  macro
   cannot call another macro.

** Macros are  loaded  and saved  together  with  other
   keyboard settings by LOAD KEYS and SAVE KEYS.

** Out of the box, EDITH  comes with 10 preset  macros.
   To record a new macro, select the function  key, and
   click the ERASE button first.
